How out family of 5 (full transparency) affords vacations in THIS economy
I travel hack with credit card points to help with (some) costs. Typically flights!
My husband typically gets a November bonus and we use part of that for a winter trip.
We bought our house in 2020 so our mortgage isn't crazy.
We bought used & older cars that we could pay off sooner rather than later.
We don't carry credit card debt month to month
(After paying off debt! This took awhile!)
We both work full time so we can afford things like vacations.
(And college tuitions, first cars, sports camps etc..)
We are in our late 30s, early 40s.
Don't compare yourself to someone who isn't in the same season of life as you!

It literally took us years to get financially comfortable and that is NORMAL. (Don’t compare yourself to TikTok vacations 🤪). #sahm #workingmoms #Budgeting #disneyland #disneyvacation
